GiWOZ M. -Nr. 32 2 Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. [. . . ] Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage. Cleaning and care Important for DFB aluminium lightshields (optional accessory) Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from. Aluminium surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Do not use: ­ stainless steel cleaners, ­ cleaning agents containing descaling agents, ­ dishwasher detergent, ­ oven sprays. ^ Grip the front of the deflector plate together with the grease filter, and pull outwards as shown. To avoid damaging the filter or the hob below, make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it. ^ Clean the filter ­ by hand: with a soft nylon brush, warm water and a little washing up liquid. ­ in a dishwasher: place filter upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65°C programme, ensuring that the spray arm is not obstructed. Grease filter The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc) preventing soiling of the cooker hood. To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average, but sooner if necessary. An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard. 14 Cleaning and care Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way. ^ After cleaning, leave the filter to dry for a while on an absorbent surface before putting it back in place. ^ When removing the filter for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter (optional accessory) must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. Replacement charcoal filters can be obtained from your dealer or the Miele Spare Parts department. See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for type and reference number. ^ When putting it back, make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing upwards. ^ Replace the grease filter in the front of the deflector plate, press it upwards and push it in together with the deflector plate. Finally, push the grease filter back a little more. Follow the instructions supplied with the charcoal filter when fitting it. Replace the charcoal filter at least every six months or more frequently if necessary. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. 15 Cleaning and care Changing a halogen lamp ^ Pull out the deflector plate, and remove the grease filter as described earlier. They get very hot during use, and remain hot for some time after being switched off. Do not touch the surface directly when changing a lamp, as grease particles from your fingers will adhere to the surface and damage it. ^ Remove the charcoal filter if the cooker hood is being used in recirculation mode. Before any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that ­ it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or ­ the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or ­ the mains fuse is withdrawn, or ­ the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). [. . . ] If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is used, the noise level of the cooker hood will increase and extraction will be less efficient. ­ Only use smooth pipes or flexible hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection. ­ Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the cooker hood. [. . . ]
